Book Overview: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: Deluxe Pocket Boxed Set

Immerse yourself in Middle-earth with J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic masterpieces behind the films, in this pocket-sized boxed set.

This gorgeous four-volume, pocket-sized boxed set contains Tolkien’s epic works The Hobbit and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King). The set comes shrink-wrapped with all four books in a leatherette-bound box with gold foil stamping; each book features a leatherette cover with stamped title and their compact size (4 1/4″ x 5 7/8″) makes them perfect to carry anywhere.

In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves. He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.

The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the dwarf; Legolas the elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

Tolkien’s epic tales, all in a four-volume, deluxe, pocket-sized, boxed set, is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale–a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth.

About the Author

J. R. R. Tolkien

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, known universally as J.R.R. Tolkien, was a definitive figure in 20th-century literature, molding the fantasy genre with his legendary Middle-Earth tales. Born in South Africa in 1892 and later relocating to England, Tolkien’s scholarly proficiency in languages led to a respected career in academia at Oxford University, where he specialized in English language and literature. However, it was his exceptional prowess as a writer and creator of intricate, richly detailed imaginary worlds that most indelibly marked his name in the annals of literary history.

Tolkien’s iconic works, most notably “The Hobbit” (1937) and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy (1954-1955), have captivated and inspired millions. These works, profoundly influenced by Tolkien’s linguistic proficiency, interest in mythology, and experiences in World War I, feature a meticulous construction of character, setting, and language. They burst with a rich tapestry of high fantasy populated by hobbits, elves, wizards, and dark lords, creating a mythical universe beloved by countless readers.

Despite passing away in 1973, Tolkien’s literary legacy endures. His timeless tales remain instrumental in shaping fantasy literature, influencing a multitude of authors in the genre. Immortalized in myriad adaptations, including blockbuster movies, his fantastical worlds continue to stir the imagination of enthusiasts all over the globe, making J.R.R. Tolkien a truly incomparable figure in the literary world.
